I reverted most if not all of these, including the deprecation of
devel/py-qt5-pyqt itself. Sorry, not sorry. Fellow kde@ member
tcberner@ initiated the deprecation of www/qt5-webkit, but I don't
remember a discussion where wholesale deprecation of its dependencies
was approved of. There are only 3, maybe 2 now, ports that actually
need the WebKit python bindings, versus the 58-59 that don't.
Disabling the WebKit bindings in devel/py-qt5-pyqt is trivial and
should be held off until shortly before www/qt5-webkit is nuked.
Further discussion should be directed to:
